37 -- Ada 2005: Implementation of Ada.Directories (AI95-00248). Note that this
38 -- unit is available without -gnat05. That seems reasonable, since you only
39 -- get it if you explicitly ask for it.
41 -- External files may be classified as directories, special files, or ordinary
42 -- files. A directory is an external file that is a container for files on
43 -- the target system. A special file is an external file that cannot be
44 -- created or read by a predefined Ada Input-Output package. External files
45 -- that are not special files or directories are called ordinary files.
47 -- A file name is a string identifying an external file. Similarly, a
48 -- directory name is a string identifying a directory. The interpretation of
49 -- file names and directory names is implementation-defined.
51 -- The full name of an external file is a full specification of the name of
52 -- the file. If the external environment allows alternative specifications of
53 -- the name (for example, abbreviations), the full name should not use such
54 -- alternatives. A full name typically will include the names of all of
55 -- directories that contain the item. The simple name of an external file is
56 -- the name of the item, not including any containing directory names. Unless
57 -- otherwise specified, a file name or directory name parameter to a
58 -- predefined Ada input-output subprogram can be a full name, a simple name,
59 -- or any other form of name supported by the implementation.
61 -- The default directory is the directory that is used if a directory or
62 -- file name is not a full name (that is, when the name does not fully
63 -- identify all of the containing directories).
65 -- A directory entry is a single item in a directory, identifying a single
66 -- external file (including directories and special files).
68 -- For each function that returns a string, the lower bound of the returned
69 -- value is 1.
